An individual titled Erasmus has created an article for The Economist on lingering anti-Semetic feelings to this day, even in the United Kingdom. The article opens with an attack on a Jewish Parisian's home and his family, with attackers asking for his money because he was a Jew. A study was done in the United Kingdom that found that 2.4% of the population held staunch anti-Semitic views and a whole 30% have some level of ideas that stereotype Jews, but are not strictly hostile to Jews. Multiple countries in Europe had drafted a definition of what constitutes Antisemitism. while some argue that it is unwieldy, some say it is a step in the right direction.
